I am sure you are familiar with the concept of "the tyranny of the majority"

Something a pure majority system, or two-party system would lead to, the majority takes total control. (includes interpreting the constitution)

As well as familiar with how the US system avoids that, through congress-senate-president, hopefully not all from the same majority, might
happen by mistake.

and let's not overlook the vital role the Supreme Court has played in protecting the rights of the minority on many issues.
